Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard not touring behind new solo album

Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard says he probably won't be launching a "Moonlander" tour anytime soon. The guitarist unveiled his second solo effort earlier this week, but he tells "Rolling Stone" he has no plans to bring it out on the road.

Gossard explains that the main purpose behind "Moonlander" - which was drawn from 12 years' worth of demos and song fragments - was "just finishing something." He wanted to let fans know that he likes to write songs and "screw around" in the studio, and these are his favorites from the past decade or so.
